He Quit His Job to Serve the Homeless, Now Rahul Singh Is The Ray Of Hope For 78+ Seniors

    Project

    "Throw me in the well and leave me to die; there's no point living now," a homeless elderly person had said to Rahul Singh when he asked her how she came to be living on the streets. Her son had abandoned her due to her age and considered her a burden. She was ill, starving, and completely helpless, and Rahul was determined to help her. Today, she receives healthy meals, care, and compassion from the Homeless Care Foundation. 




    "We come across so many elderly people like her whose children or family have either abandoned them or have left the country without them. They live in terrible conditions - either on the streets or in a small hut with not much to call their own. Some of them can't even move because they're so weak and old."


    Rahul Singh started the Homeless Care Foundation to give these people a better life. Today, he gives fresh meals to over 78 elderly people in Delhi twice a day, and the joy on their faces is truly unexplainable.

    Rahul Works Tirelessly To Give The Homeless Elderly In Delhi A Better Life




    "It all began during the first lockdown of the pandemic. The amount of hunger and helplessness we witnessed was beyond shocking. So many homeless people were struggling. But the turning point came when I was watching the news with my family and saw a child, who might have been 10 years old, crying because he hadn’t eaten for 4 days. Every time he asked someone for food, they would chase him away. That’s when I knew I had to do something." - Rahul Singh, Chairman & Founder, Homeless Care Foundation.


    Rahul then decided to start the Homeless Care Foundation in 2020, while millions of people grappled with the virus, hunger, and homelessness. He even quit his government job to focus entirely on his mission, and there has been no looking back since.




    "We provide fresh meals for over 78 elderly individuals every single day, and these two meals are crucial for their well-being. They have no one else to look after them as they are unable to work or cook for themselves. Many of them are sick or struggling with an illness, and people who see them on the streets often avoid them. We are their only hope."


    In case any of them need medical assistance, the Homeless Care Foundation also takes them to the government hospital and, if they're willing, find a suitable old age home for them to stay in. They want to give them all the care and comfort they deserve.

    Your Support Can Help Them Continue This Noble Mission


    Rahul and his team of 8 work tirelessly 365 days a year, without breaks or holidays, knowing that if they stop, these elderly people will go hungry. However, they face many challenges. They not only have to ensure they get enough groceries to cook two meals a day, but also pay staff salaries on time, rent for the community kitchen they cook from, and much more.

    Fortunately, there is hope. With your support, Rahul can continue this noble mission of giving the elderly a life of dignity. Donate groceries today and ensure that 78+ elderly people on the streets of Delhi get nourishing meals every day.

    About the NGO: The Homeless Care Foundation was established in 2020 with a mission to provide essential support to homeless individuals and animals. Their primary focus is on delivering hygienic and nutritious food to those in need, including impoverished patients and their caregivers outside hospitals. They also rescue abandoned individuals and senior citizens found in dire conditions on the streets, relocating them to old age homes or shelters where they can receive proper care. Additionally, the organization offers medical treatment to homeless people and animals, ensuring they receive the necessary healthcare and attention. Through these initiatives, they strive to create a compassionate community where every individual, regardless of their circumstances, receives the care and support they deserve.

    FAQs

    Donatekart is India's one of a kind crowdfunding platform that allows donors to directly donate towards products that are required by the NGO. In the last 5 years, we have partnered with 1400+ NGOs all over India to raise 150+ crores worth of products. More than 5 lakh unique donors have used our platform to donate to charities of their choice. As a donor, you are guaranteed 100% transparency - after you donate towards the products, you will receive an update from the campaigner.

    After you complete your donation successfully, you will find the 'GET 80G' button on the payment success page. Please fill in your PAN number, complete address, and name as per PAN and submit. Your 80G certificate will be generated and sent via email within 24 hours.

    Alternatively, you can get your 80G receipt in a few simple steps:

    1. Log in to your account using the same email ID you used for the donation
    2. Go to ‘My Donations’
    3. Choose the financial year for which you'd like the donation certificate
    4. Click on ‘Download 80G Certificate’
    5. Fill out the Form (if required)
    6. Submit the form and 80G will get downloaded instantly

    Instead of receiving separate 80G certificates for each donation, you'll receive a consolidated 80G certificate via email covering all your donations made through our platform in the financial year. Further, The corresponding 10BE form that proves your eligibility for the tax deduction will also be consolidated. This way, you won't have to worry about multiple downloads and can save time.

    To qualify for tax exemption on your donations, you need to obtain a 10BE. This can be done by filing your 80G claims for donations made during the Financial Year (FY). You can download your 10BE from the‘My Profile’ section by 31st May of the next FY and also receive it via email.

    For example: if you made donations between April 2023 and March 2024 (FY 2023-24), you will get your 10BE by 31st May 2024, provided you need to claim the 80G for these donations.

    Please note that you cannot claim 80G for donations made between April 2022 and March 2023 (FY 2022-23) anymore as the window for claiming it has closed. However, you can still get the 10BEs for that year if you made 80G claims on or before 31st July 2023.
